There is much to be gained from such an approach but unfortunately no fact tested trials to support such an idea. Would in the past have been counter productive to sales and so it goes into the muck and mystery file .
A lot of people haven't got any N on at all yet with the wind and rain! Imagine trying to get round the farm every 10 days! Remember the cost of red diesel!
Should we ban exports of beans as well at the moment as they are worth more abroad than domestically? What about Malt barley export earlier this year, should that have been banned to protect our domestic consumers!?! I don’t of course have the answers, it just i a slippery slope when you ban free trade on one item and not others….. the knock on effects often have unforeseen consequences….
I thought that but haven't got the calculator out to check
Fair enough not ban it but surely some countries are steering more their own way to protect home supply.
@Doom and gloom how have you got on with fert purchases?
World starvation and riots in the streets
I believe some are banning export of grains, so farms have lower commodity prices but still exposed to global N prices, a brutal consequence of good intentions to lower domestic food prices.
Maybe so time will tell .
The long term is simply a series of short terms, bolted together.
Iv done a deal for this months meal 2 weeks ago. Il be orederin it as usual and theyl be gettin the price they agreed. A deal is a deal
Chinese whispers getting worse and worse lately
I would suggest they are blaming the grain supplier but in fact they are pulling contracts them selves because that haven't bought enough grain or straights forward to cover the cake contracts signed I have heard of no grain seller calling force majeure yet but several mills doing so.
If the mills are calling it then any purchases associated with that contract should have an option to pull out
I know it won’t happen.
